Rawhide bones and rawhide treat products
are one of the most popular kinds of treats in the canine world. Rawhide is an
ingredient found in many bones and chewy treats. However, rawhide is not for
all dogs. Some dogs are not able to digest rawhide and can become sick. Rawhide
affects each dog differently. If you’ve been giving your Basset Hound rawhide
treats and he has not had any trouble eating them and has shown no signs of
being sick then he may be able to tolerate the ingredient. If you’ve never
given your Basset rawhide, then perhaps you should introduce him to an
alternative. For instance, many brands are now making rawhide like treats that
are made out of vegetables and not actual rawhide. The texture is still the
same and your dog still gets to chew for hours on end, but it’s a lot healthier
and easier to digest. Talk with your veterinary clinic
